ERROR: ConditionsResources.en-us.xml

Hi,

Our Nop v3.50 instance hosted on Azure received the following errors:

The process cannot access the file 'D:\home\site\wwwroot\Plugins\SevenSpikes.Core\Resources\ConditionsResources.en-us.xml' because it is being used by another process.

Would you have any idea why that is?  Thanks,

Lorenz

Hi lorenz,

it seems that the file is locked by some other process. Could you please restart your website and see if the problem will disappear.

Hello,

We get this error after every deployment,  Do you have a workaround to prevent this?

Thanks,

Hi,

it seems that the file is locked for some reason. Have you tried the solution from the post above with the restarting of the application?

It only happens after deployment and disappears after a while. But this issue causing big problems for our continious integration. It delays our applications warm up times about 2-3 minutes.

We got to ressolve this problem.

Hi,

could you please tell us what are the steps of the deployment? Do you stop your site before the deploy? And do you deploy only the changed files or the whole site? Please provide as much information as you can, so that we can resolve this problem faster.

Looking forward to your reply!

Hello again,

We deploy the app with ms web deploy, with changed files only. We take app offline before deployment app_offline file, but not stop the IIS which is not possible in our setup.

Thanks
Kerem

Hi,

We use the same approach when uploading files on our demo sites and we never had such an issue.

We use the "ConditionsResources.en-us.xml" file to read the resources from it and upload it to the database. Right after we finish with the file, we dispose it so it should not be open after the operation is done. Actually, we do this for a lot of .xml files, there is no reason that the problem will be with this file only. Can you check if the files has the correct permissions ?

Is there a way to find out which process is locking the file? This may be helpful to identify the problem.

Looking forward to your reply!

So, is it ok if I remove them completely?

Hi,

Once the resources are inserted into the database, the files are no longer needed. It is safe to delete them.
